Bad News

Well, the continuation of my prep went down the shitter the first week after my last contest. I got retardedly bloated and constipated the week after the contest, and it took a whole week to get back to normal. Was still holding a lot of water… trained for a week up until last week… last Saturday I felt a strain in my neck after training… went to bed… woke up and I couldn’t move my neck without feeling like someone hit it with a baseball bat… couldn’t even do cardio because walking fast would hurt my neck really bad… so I missed training for a whole week… dieted until Tuesday then said fuck it… what’s the point… it’s Saturday today, and my neck feels a lot better… I think I’m ready to go back and train… I’m back on the diet and holy shit did I gain weight! I was 91 kg this morning… my contest is in 12 days and I don’t think I can lose the fat in 1 week (last week before the contest really doesn’t count)… I’m just gonna try to drop some water to make weight and look sharper and not diet hard enough to look flat and “stringy”…

I really don’t think I’ll be competing in anymore contests this year… it’s really tiring having back to back contests like this… 1-2 contests per year is more than enough I think… and besides, I lost the dumb ass motivation I had… been dieting for too fucking long anyway… 25 weeks now… meh

The next contest is gonna be held in the same venue… weigh in is on Wednesday the 8th of april… I’m gonna head out there this Thursday and ask if they’re doing anything about the lighting… if they aren’t, I’m not gonna apply any paint this time either. It’s enough crap to have to shave off my gorilla suit.

Things I’ve learned this year about fat loss

It’s kinda funny how even if you know what works for you, you still don’t know shit. LOL! Seriously, it’s like every year I learn something new that changes my perspective about bodybuilding and dieting for contests. Here are just some things off the top of my head (I realized that I could be making a big mistake writing this up… so I’ll say it loud and clear… THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDERS AND ALREADY HAVE A STRONG BASE OF MUSCLE MASS!!! This is not for any fat fuck who wants to diet down… go train for 5 years INTELLIGENTLY then you can do this)

1- Really… you don’t have to eat clean all day everyday… especially when you first start out your diet. Hell, you can eat a junk food meal everyday of the week when you start as long as you don’t go over a certain caloric limit AFTER YOU HAVE MET YOUR REQUIRMENTS! As in… if you needed to eat 350 gr of protein, 300 gr of carbs, and 60 gr of fat… if you eat 320/250/55 of those, and your next junk food meal will take you a little over your requirements, go ahead.

2- If your body looks tired, it is tired. Give it a rest. You’ll look better in 3 days.

3- If your strength goes down, you are doing something wrong.

4- For the advanced bodybuilders, the dosage on the fat burner label is usually a “wink wink” dose.

5- If you cut out sodium, you will look like shit. Anyone who says “but sodium is bad for you”, I would reply by saying “fuck you, eat shit.”

6- Drinking too much water is counter productive… drinking too little water is even worse. 4-8 liters per day depending on how much sodium you take in. if you drink 4 liters and you are still a bloated mess (as in 10% fat and you have sock marks that look like someone carved it in on top of your ankles), you are taking in too much sodium. Drink more water or decrease your sodium intake (drinking more water would be the better option)

7- Protein isn’t that important by itself, carbs aren’t important by themselves, fats aren’t important by themselves… it’s the whole picture that matters. There were times in my diet where I was maintaining all my muscle mass and strength on 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight.

8- Carbs (especially simple carbs) are probably the no.1 reason for smelly farts and bad gas.

9- Throw the scale out the window… it’s good for nothing.

10- You will always look bigger… if you cut your hair shorter.

Why you shouldn’t even consider dieting and exercising for weight loss or “toning”

Enter any gym these days and you will find it filled with borderline obese and morbidly obese individuals that are either weight training with heavy enough weights (like the 2 lb pink dumbbells to do squats) or doing hours upon hours of cardio. It is rare to find the “toned” individuals at any gym. When you ask these people at the gym “how long have you been exercising?” the common answer would be “a couple of years now.” This could only mean one thing! That exercise is pointless. Millions of people can’t be wrong, right? These people exercise on a daily basis for hours to no avail. If you ask any retarded self proclaimed expert, like competitive bodybuilders for example, they will try and feed you bullshit like “you aren’t training correctly”, “you aren’t training with high enough intensity”, or “your diet is probably awful.” Fact of the matter is, these bodybuilders are lairs. I will get back to this point in a second. Now, if you ask these people about their diets, you find that they make total sense and that they should lose fat at a very fast rate. Usually, they eat 1-2 meals per day that are very low in fat and calories. Most of them even follow diets that are scientifically proven to make you lose weight at an alarming rate (4 or more lbs per week, theoretically, without hitting a plateau). For example, atkins, the chemical diet, the cabbage soup diet, the tomato diet, low fat diets, the protein diet, the fish diet… etc. why aren’t they losing any weight? Well, here is your answer. Dr. Edward Von Ipulledresearchoutofmyassbychosingtestsubjectsthatarebiasedtowardsmakingmyresearchlooklegitandmynamecanbealloverthenews’Ovitch has discovered a new virus that is called obesetosis fatassulitium that causes people to basically store the energy that they should be burning while exercising. To explain further, say you are walking on the treadmill and it says you burned 300 calories. If you did not have this virus, you would’ve burned those calories. But if you are infected, you will actually gain 300 calories. The virus converts the heat your body produces into particles of liquid sugary magma that are calorie dense. As you breathe heavier while exercising, you inhale this liquid sugary magma and it goes into your blood stream via your lungs. It is then directly converted to fat and you can actually get fatter by exercising!! Why you might ask? Because you are prone to inhale other peoples liquid sugary magma. So instead of burning 300 calories, you are actually storing 300 calories or more (depending on how much sugary magma is released around you from other individuals).
According to a recent survey and random blood tests conducted on people, around 97.89% of overweight and obese people have contracted this virus. This is the main reason why they can’t lose weight.
Going back to competitive bodybuilders and their excuses about why people can’t lose weight… our undercover staff have discovered how these self proclaimed experts grow muscle mass and burn fat at a fast rate. We have discovered that they only work out to divert peoples attention from the real cause of their muscle gain. Heavy weight lifting has been proven time and time again by doctors to be useless. The real reason is muscle implants and extreme steroid use. They don’t even have to work out, but they do so that people don’t catch on to their secrets. Our undercover stuff have discovered that they use steroids like whey protein and creatine in very high doses. This is the reason why you see them dropping dead at the age of 26, and none of them ever got past the age of 29. the doses of whey protein they use are lethal, some use up to 50 grams of protein per day, enough to kill a small koala. Also, the secret to their fat loss is basically liposuction. This is why in a “cutting” phase, as they call it, they dress up in baggy clothes to try to hide the surgery scars and the swelling resulting from the surgery, and they are tired and weak all the time. They try to cover it up by saying they look that way due to severe dieting techniques, but it’s all lies.
The latest medical research shows that the safest and ONLY way to lose fat is through a combination of liposuction every 12 weeks, using strong laxatives every 3 days, and drinking 5 gallons of green tea per week. This is the only, and safest way to lose fat. The research showed that there are no negative health effects from doing this, and in fact, it will make you healthier and live longer.
Just say no to dieting and exercise. It was a scam all along. And it is the main reason why obesity has been on the rise for the past 40 years. Please visit a plastic surgeon as soon as you can to get liposuction and muscle implants. Don’t let the media fool you by saying you have to exercise and diet. It won’t work. It’s just a way to sell products.



For the new people reading the blog, this is a goddamn joke… seeing how ignorant, lazy, and retarded people have become this past fucking decade, about 90% of the people who don’t know I’m joking will actually believe this shit. More and more people are tuning into this stupid show called The Doctors, and trust me, it’s full of shit. After I saw yesterday’s episode, I just fucking flipped. They encourage having gastric bypass surgery, liposuction, and this new retarded stomafix surgery over dieting and exercising. They had a fat stupid bitch on the show and she was oh so fucking fat. Had gastric bypass surgery done 5 years ago cuz she was a fat whale, I think she said she hit 270 lbs, after saying… get ready for it… “I tried every diet and training program you could think of. Nothing worked”… now, she went down to, and I quote, “my healthy weight of 170 lbs” after a couple of years of physically not being able to eat (meaning the fat pig was stuffing her face in the first place)… first of all, 170 lbs is not a healthy weight for a woman unless she’s 6’5 or something. Second, anyone can fucking lose weight. It doesn’t even take self control when you’re fucking 250 lbs of fat. Anyway, 5 years later, she went up to 218 lbs because “something was wrong”… ofcourse, they didn’t say what was wrong, but they just wanted to show you how great the new “stomafix” surgery is… any retard with half a brain would know that the “something was wrong” part basically means “I was eating like a pig and stretched out my stomach again”… because in the stomafix crap they were explaining, they said “the stomach seems to be stretched out… this is one of the downfalls of gastric bypass and why it doesn’t work for everyone… so now we will do this stomafix procedure blah blah blah”… and a couple of months after the stomafix, she lost 35 lbs, taking her down to the “healthy” weight of 183 lbs!!! oh boy… even while standing there while sucking in her stomach (and it actually showed on her face that she was uncomfortable), wearing a fucking wonder bra, and a corset, she still couldn’t hide cankles and fat arms. Anyway… the “doctors” were praising this new procedure and were trying to explain how diet and exercise doesn’t work for a lot of people and that they should consult their surgeon about stomafix.
In the same episode, a woman wrote in a question and was asking about how to get rid of cankles… she said that she lost all the fat on her body and she’s only left with cankles… usually, people who are delusional, have 40 inch fat thighs, a 40 inch waist, an ass as big as the day is long, and cheeks that resemble a baboon’s bottom would believe their friends when they act nice and say “you’re just a little chubby… but men like that a lot in a woman”… there is no such thing as “I lost all the fat on my body except for my cankles”… anyway… the old surgeon who is orange from the bad spray tan he has on that is on the show said… “actually, this is very common. A lot of people come to me with this concern and it’s very easy to get rid of it. See, we first make an incision here, then we suck the fat out… blah blah blah”… drove me fucking nuts!!! I was picking up ruffles and throwing him at the tv with rage!!! (it’s ok, he wears a helmet cuz he’s special, so he doesn’t even feel it)…

Anyway… look, if you’re fat, and you “tried everything” but you can’t lose the weight… it’s your own fault. You haven’t tried anything reasonable and you just want the one day diet and shit. It’s all your fault you’re fat. You can be normal, or even athletic looking in a year or two even if you’re obese! But you don’t look like that cuz you have no will power to stop shoving fucking cup cakes down your throat. One of my wife’s friend who is in desperate need of losing weight was at tony roma’s yesterday asking the waiter “what kind of diet food do you have?”… all this while I was eating a brownie with ice cream and hot fudge, right after I ate my cheeseburger pizza with 2 scoops of baskin robbins ice cream with hot fudge and butterscotch, along with some cinnamon sticks… if someone saw this they’d say “poor thing, she’s trying so hard. And you are an ass for having great genetics and eating pizza and brownies gain muscle instead of fat”… who the fuck goes to tony roma's and asks for diet food???? really, people lack any kind of will power or logic when it comes to diet and exercise. Yesterday, a supervisor came to my cubicle and we were talking about exercising and shit. Then he said “look, I jog everyday for atleast an hour, I come from an obese family and I used to be obese, I only eat 2 small meals per day BUT I’M NOT LOSING ANY WEIGHT!! WHY?!” the guy is borderline obese… probably at 23-25% fat, 5’9 at around 220 lbs. how come he burns about 1000 cals per day by jogging, and only eats about 800 calories per day, but he doesn’t lose weight? I’m sure it’s not his fault! Oh yes the fuck it is. Cuz when I explained to him how what he’s doing is stupid and pointless, and how he should fix it… this is what he said:
“look, I’m not willing to change the way I exercise, I’m not willing to change my diet, and I’m not willing to change the way I sleep… so what can I do?”
This is the same guy who said he is desperate and is willing to try anything. I just said “look, I don’t mean to offend you, but this is what I usually tell my friends… the definition of the word stupid is if you keep on doing the same thing over and over yet you expect different results”

Take it from me… if you’re fat, it’s because you are weak willed, lazy, lack self control, and don’t want to put any effort into losing the weight and understanding how your body works… and it’s not because god hates you!
If I wake up tomorrow with emphysema, I wouldn’t say it’s because god hates me… I’d fucking deserve it because I chose to smoke (btw, emphysema is what smokers should worry about, not lung cancer). Same thing with fat people… you deserve to be fat. Now get on a treadmill and eat some fucking fresh food with good ratios, will ya?

The sish...

I don't know what went wrong with my stomach after the contest, but i can tell you that it's not good. two days after the contest, i was so bloated it wasn't even funny... put on about 12 lbs, and now i'm down 8 lbs this morning. i'm at around 88 kg at the moment with a bloated belly. my digestive system is fucked, and i don't know what's inside my intestines, but it smells like a dead kitten that's been rotting for a month.
This week, i started a 40/40/20 diet... and i was reminded by my body how it hates carbs. workouts have been shit, and i look stringy. that's why i'm going back to my old dieting strategy. no carb for a couple of days, then i "carb load"... heheh... yeah right.

the nationals

Bandar told me that it would be interesting if the dude that won the light heavies and i were in the same weight class... so, i told him that i'd try my best to go down to the 85 kg class and see what the judges reward people on... symmetry and level of body fat, or size (not that i'm very aesthetically pleasing, but you know what i mean.)
so, i'm doing my best to get down to the 85 kg without looking like absolute shit... so, i really can't tell if i'll make it or not.

i'm currently mapping out my plan for the offseason at the moment... with all the new info i've discovered about my body the past two years, it'll probably be the same shit i'm doing pre contest but with more calories.

after these contests, i will quit competing for 2 years, try to get up to 105-110 kg, then diet down and see how i look. if i look the same but bigger (no improvement in symmetry) i will not compete again, and just don't this shit for fun... if i improve, it will be time to compete in higher level competitions.

this offseason is going to be messy... whenever i hit 15-18% bodyfat (37-38 inch waist) i will diet down to a 33 inch waist then continue again... i don't want to go above 15%, because it would take me another year of dieting to get down to 6% without losing muscle... and that would suck...

now i'm just blabbering... catch ya later folks!!!

The contest

As you know in my earlier post, i weighed-in at the venue and i was bumped up to the heavyweight 90 kg category (weighed 86.5 kg... 1.5 kg above the cut off for light heavies). I started sipping more gatoraid cuz i was really fucking thirsty by that time, and i wasn't worried about weight gain.


We waited for the whole damn thing to start, and the fuckers were late, again! anyway, when the 65 kg guys hit the stage, we realized that it was gonna be a shitty contest due to lack of good lighting (everything was dark and you could barely see) and there were hardly any chairs for the audience to sit on.

after the 70 kg weight class were done, i went to eat my french toast and syrup, and starting pumping up. the water depletion and carb loading (shitloading) plan worked much much much better than i expected. i was fully loaded, awesome pump, no dizziness, and I WASN'T SWEATING AT ALL!!!! which basically means that i only had fat left on my body and no water whatsoever... it's funny how when you sit for a couple of minutes and think about crap logically, you can come up with a plan that's so simple, and so easy to follow that it'll probably work on anyone... and not try to make it seem like some secret super duper plan that only one person knows how to do and charges around $400 just to tell you how to do it... yes, this is true. there is a person who sensationalises this whole way and charges that much just to tell you how to do it. and a lot of people pay him... anyway... since the lighting was shitty, i didn't feel like painting myself with that dream tan crap and spending the next 2 years washing it off... so i just applied some "hot stuff" (yeah, that's what it's called... basically it's topical niacin and nicotine). then i went on stage...















as you can see from the stage pics... the lights weren't even over the competitors... we were covered in shadows and you can't tell the fat ones from the lean ones...
just to let you know, i was at around 5% fat, and the closest one to me was at around 12%. don't mean to sound like a proud fuck, but just stating facts...
after the stage, we went down to the little gym they had and took pics... and you can see the real conditioning here...






















The placings

first place, bitches! 1 down, 4 to go!!!





just a little story in bodybuilding judging for you

one of the 65 kg guys got screwed over from 2nd place and got 3rd instead because our club team coach knew the judges well and he convinced them to put his guy in 2nd place...
when we were weighing in, the coach wanted me to be in the 85 kg class, and the other guy we had who was supposed to be in the 85 kg class down to the 80 kg class... we both talked to him and told him not to screw around with it and just leave it be. he could've talked to the judges and put me in the 85 kg class if he wanted... that's really fucked up

the 85 kg class...

as i was standing back stage and looking at the contestants on stage, there was this guy who was as big as a house. i could only see his shoulders, traps, and side of his legs from where i was standing... when i got off stage, the guys told me he was huge and ripped and i was lucky not to go into the 85 kg class...
when they were gonna announce the winner, i was standing backstage with the guy and got a good look at him... and after watching the pictures on my camera of this guy... i don't want to sound like an arrogant prick... he was bigger than i was (he's 5'5, i'm 5'7) , but he wasn't as lean... that's one... and if you take a look at this picture... I don't want to take anything away from this guy, but if he was in the states, and the judging was fair, he wouldn't have taked 1st place like he did yesterday... instead he would've had a lot of points taken down for many things that i won't mention... if you are experienced in bodybuilding, you would know...








I'm 5 weeks out now... probably gonna still be in the heavyweights... i don't want to lose any muscle... in fact, i want to gain some... and probably lose some fat... i won't do anything to drop weight this time, just trying to look better for the nationals.

How can i be bish, when i got no where to... fish?

ok, only Jawad and Mariam will understand that... but take my word for it... it's fucking funny, ok?
i'm leaving for the contest in 30 minutes... it's 2:15 pm right now, and no... i'm not gonna make the light heavies this year, unless the weight scale they have in the venue is really fucking messed up.
i weigh around 87 kg right now, dry as hell but i still have some fat to go. I'm not gonna blame it on water, cuz i know for a fact it's fucking fat. my waist is 31.7 inches still... i'm much bigger and much leaner than last year... so that's good... i guess. still don't know how good the competition is with the heavies... but, i guess i'll know in an hour or so.

i've loaded up on more than 1000 grams of carbs from junk the past couple of days, so i know i'm fully loaded. i'm a bit flat right now, but it's because i'm dehydrated. i'll drink some gatoraid after weigh-in to fill back up a bit.
it sucks to be at the bottom part of a weight class. cuz if anyone is on the top of the weight class and just a bit less conditioned than i am, the judges will prefer it.

anyway... wish me luck.
